OnePlus Open Apex Edition will launch in India and globally on August 7, the company announced on Thursday. With its debut, OnePlus will introduce a new colourway for the smartphone. However, the changes may not be just cosmetic, with a listing on the official website suggesting this new edition could also get upgrades in terms of RAM and storage. Notably, OnePlus Open was introduced in India in October 2023 in a single 16GB RAM+512GB storage configuration.

According to the teaser shared by OnePlus on X (formerly Twitter), the OnePlus Open Apex Edition will come in a new colourway called Crimson Shadow. As the name suggests, it may be a shade of crimson in the vegan leather style. The company says this colourway is inspired by its signature “Never Settle” red. This new option is expected to join the existing colourways of the OnePlus Open, which are Emerald Dusk and Voyager Black.

This isn't likely to be a successor to the foldable smartphone which launched last year but may be more of an enhanced edition. Notably, OnePlus Open 2 is reported to debut sometime in the second quarter of 2025 with Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset.

While OnePlus did not delve into any specifications of the Apex Edition, it is likely to retain most of the internals of the standard OnePlus Open. However, there could be some upgrades too. A listing for an additional configuration variant of the Oneplus Open Apex Edition on the brand's website suggests it could come with more RAM and in-built storage.
